One imported COVID-19 patient has been investigated by police for allegedly violating infectious disease control policy after he returned to the mainland from Hong Kong, the Shanghai government said today.

The patient arrived from Hong Kong which is currently hit hard by the pandemic on February 13 and took a high-speed train from Zhuhai in south China's Guangdong Province to Shanghai on February 14.

Shanghai health authorities received an alert from Guangdong counterparts and quarantined him on February 16. He was confirmed positive yesterday.
